Jack Jeanne to Sing its Way to English and Traditional Chinese Audiences

Prepare for the opera in Jack Jeanne

This opera is opening its doors to a bigger audience! Developer Broccoli announced that their opera-focused otome/rhythm game, Jack Jeanne, will be localized in both English and Traditional Chinese.

Written and designed by Tokyo Ghoul creator Sui Ishida and collaborator Shin Tawada, Jack Jeanne released in Japan last year for the Nintendo Switch.

Here is a description of Jack Jeanne via Gematsu:

About

Tamasaka is an opera troupe consisting only of men, who also play women. The troupe owns the Univers Opera School, which raises actors while putting on performances. Every performance invites the audience to an overwhelmingly flashy world and never fails to keep their attention.

The talented students of the hard-to-enter school are broken up into four classes to study theater, as well as compete for the title of Top Class at Univers.

The protagonist, Kisa Tachibana, who had given up on a life of theater, receives special permission to attend Univers Opera School following a certain event as long as she fulfills two conditions.

One of those conditions is to star in the final performance at the end of the year.

The other is to hide the fact that she is a woman…

To make her dreams come true, and to help her pupils, the protagonist will deepen her bonds with the classmates that become her “cogs.”

What future awaits the protagonist after spending the year with her classmates…?

Key Features

Story – You are protagonist Kisa Tachibana (first name changeable), a new student enrolled at the boys-only Univers Opera School, hiding the fact that you are a girl. Devote each day to stage rehearsals while spending your school life with your individual classmates.

Simulation – Your missions are to lead your class to victory and to be chosen as the lead role for the final performance. Compete against gifted rival classmates in attempts to achieve your goals. Perhaps what you need for that is more than just good performance results…? The choice you make will have a major impact on the ending of the story.

Rhythm Game – Performance parts play out as rhythm games. There are two types of rhythm parts: singing parts where you can enjoy hearing the characters sing, as well as parts where you can enjoy full-blown dances choreographed by Seishiro. With simple controls and genuine rhythm action, bring your class’ performance to life.

A release date was not given for the English or the Traditional Chinese version, nor were we given a publisher, but stay tuned to RPGFan as we learn more!
